TIRUCHI
Devotees visited various temples in Tiruchi district and offered prayers on Friday after the State government relaxed the restrictions and announced reopening of places of worship for the public on week-ends across the State.
Although the places of worship were opened for devotees from Monday to Thursday, they were shut for the public on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in anticipation of large congregation and with a view to curbing the spread of COVID-19.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
